I have always worked with Rails on Ubuntu but now I am forced to use Windows 7. So I was wondering if it possible to use Windows 7 as the OS for development. Is it?
I installed all the required bits but now I am struggeling to get WebRick and/or Mongrell working.
It seems to start fine but fails to serve any requests. The page just start to load for a long time and ends with timeout.
D:\wcs\crc4d>ruby script/server => Booting Mongrel => Rails 2.3.11 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server
I expected WebRick/Mongrel to start serving requests at http://localhost:3000 with that command but nothing seems to be happening.
Can it be done?
